After reversing the first game of the finals, the Pacers lost to the Thunder 107-123 away today, with a big score of 1-1 and missed the chance to lead 2-0 again. The Pacers led 2-0 in the first three rounds of the playoffs this year, and they both scored 2-0 in the away game in the Eastern Conference semi-finals and finals. This is also the first time they have suffered a loss in the first two games of the series, but their record is still as high as 7 wins and 1 loss.

Although the Pacers returned to home court with a 1-1 score, they were basically suppressed by the Thunder in the first two games of the finals, and they only led by 1 minute and 53 seconds in 96 minutes. If it weren't for Halliburton's first finale, the Pacers might be 0-2 now. So in terms of strength, the Pacers are still not as good as the Thunder.
